Thanks for the tips...I need to start planning, my surgery is not until8/23 but I have two camping trips July and early Aug then a week away the week before I get my surgery. Plus..back to school shopping etc. Eek, lots to do!

What I have done in the past, and again which worked out well is sorta like what MMBB02 did with one execption, I pre-cooked my sloppy and froze enough per container, all I had to do was thaw and/or nuke it. I did the same for my stew, my crock alone is very, between it and the lid, forget it. Post-op, the lid will be to heavy. Maybe I'll make up some boxed mac & cheese to freeze. Big day is tomorrow!!!

This is SO great! I was getting ready to post something in the pre-op forum to ask if anyone could give any ideas/recipes for meals that can be frozen prior to surgery. I am SO not good at making casseroles and things like that, so this is just great! Thanks to whoever had the foresight to post these!

Hey y'all! I'm 13 days pre-op and trying to do a little every day to get ready. DH will be off with me for the first week, so I want to make things as easy as possible for him as he will have his hands full as it is. Thanks so much to everyone who's posted here...very helpful!! Wish me luck!
